Oklahoma Transportation Resources

Oklahoma - Senior Transportation

Few seniors give up driving enthusiastically, but as a loved one ages the time may come to take away the keys. Many seniors do not want to lose the independence that comes with driving, so be sure to present them with plenty of transportation alternatives. Reassuring a senior that not all mobility is lost is crucial in telling them that it is no longer safe for them to be driving.

Ride Services

For those times when a senior is unable to depend on family, friends, and neighbors for rides, local car, taxi, or bus services are available to fill in the gaps.  Such services are often inexpensive and may run on a set route or on a door-to-door basis.  The best way to find these types of services is to contact your local senior center or parks and recreation department.
